Opinion: Marathon legislative shutdown shouldn’t be repeated

Sleep deprivation for Iowa legislators, staff and journalists was not the only problem we have with this unnecessary stumble out the door. Legislation addressing issues Iowans care about was approved at a rapid pace, with no chance for Iowans to weigh in.

Groundbreaking held for Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity’s 16th Woman Build

IOWA CITY, Iowa (KCRG) — Volunteers broke ground Saturday for Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity’s 16th Woman Build, honoring a retired University of Iowa nursing professor.

Liz Swanson, a retired nursing professor, was chosen as this year’s honoree for her decades of impact. The Women Build program focuses on including women in every step of home construction.

While the home is built in Swanson’s honor, it will go to a fellow nurse and mother of three. The family applied through the affordable housing program.

Swanson said she’s proud to be part of a project that directly connects to her nursing legacy.

“It’s very special to have the unique opportunity to help the nurse who is working nights,” Swanson said.

Swanson said stable housing gives families the security to plan for the future.

“It means security for families. We talked briefly to the children and they said, ‘we’re gonna have our own bedroom,’” Swanson said.

Volunteers are set to begin work on the home in August. Those interested in volunteering can find more information here.
